Really like the second shirt, white with a tidy red strip, simple and classy. Just goes to show, there is no predicting.

Still don't like the Red for personal wear, but don't mind it on the lads as it looks great from 30meters and under the lights. Just don't like gingham up close and we are all free to wear what we like.

Heard rumor that 3rd shirt would be blue. I was hoping for black but looks not to be this year.

Eric - Thanks for the tip!

Vivek - I agree that the badge would have looked better in colour. I actually love simple kits - the simpler the better. I think this kit compares very favourably with our last white kit (the shocker we wore in the Champions League final at Wembley.) For the record I like the blue/black hooped kit as well.

For all intents and purposes the squad is perfect as is.Most ppl don't realise how difficult it is managing a large group of established professionals.None of these types would be content with a bit part role.Consider madrid for instance.It took all of Mou's man management nous to get the rotation between Benz and Higuain just right which resulted in both players being reasonably satisfied.SAF does the best he can when it comes to rotating players.Our young ones ARE content to bide their time on the bench IF the believe they have a chance to contribute in the near future.These young ones are the future.They bleed Utd.They should be given every opportunity to stake their claim.

Fred - I use a program called 'Alcohol 120%' to mount iso files but don't use it often. WinRar extracts them but not sure if it mounts them.

I have a defragger called Tune-Up Utilities or I just use the Windows one but I hear the Auslogics one is good.

Zibbie - Sorry man but Zi-Zi is definitely a girl. Her full name is Zdenka Zemanova. ;)

Cyril - thanks for your advice, it's much appreciated. The tune-up programs I use are Glary Utilities and CCleaner. They are the bee's knees imho.

I see Arsenal have dismissed our bid, so we are interested after all.

Come on Samuel surely you are starting believe this is more than just speculation of the media.

Cyril Sneer July 20, 2012

Fred - Yeah, CCleaner is brilliant. I haven't used Glary but it looks good. If you have the Pro version the speed disk does the same job as a defragmenter.

Erm... Glory Glory Man United....

"For all intents and purposes the squad is perfect as is.Most ppl don’t realise how difficult it is managing a large group of established professionals"

Disagree mate our European campaign last term will tell us that, our peformances against Everton, Wigan, and City in the biggest month of the season will tell you we aint perfect.

Also in terms of managing professionals there is no one better than Fergie. in 99 he kept Ole, Teddy, Yorke, and Cole all happy. We cant rest on our laurels just because we become attached to players.

We have been nowhere top level since 2008 and anyone who disagrees are lying to themselves. We have been great but not 94, 99, and 2008 standards thats for sure.

Hey up guys, was busy for the day as watched The Dark Knight first and then caught The Dark Knight Rises. It was a really awesome and fitting conclusion to Nolan's vision of Batman. Obviously, not as good as The Dark Knight but that's not a slight on this film. Not many films are going to touch the levels of TDK anytime soon, maybe never when it comes to superhero and Batman films. Having said that, TDKR is everything we would want out of the final part of the trilogy and more.

BTW, didn't realized we had so many nerds and geeks on here. Yes, I am looking at you guys Fred and Cyril. Great to know I am around like minds. :D

Great to have Cedars back also and the biggest thing being that he and STR have sorted the issues out. They are both top Reds and we are already fighting the ABUNati that we wouldn't want petty fights amongst ourselves over something that isn't a huge issue in the first place. This place feels so much better with Cedars spreading some Red love.

Sandeep - Nice quote from Fletch. Get well soon big man, we miss you.

Balaji - LOL you were just the nerd I had in mind when I threw that question out there. Looks like my invitation for a bit of geek chat enticed you out of the shadows. ;)

Cedars is back!!! Quality - Welcome back mate, no longer standing face to the wall!!!!

Shirt looks good but yet again another basic lazy design. Generally speaking all of Nike's products have been pretty poor. They only get away with it because of the Air Jordan logo which is still raking it in for them. The sooner we can get back to Adidias the better.

@ WRN - You're kidding mate. This makes no sense! Although it is the marquee signing that have people have mentioned on here in the last 2 years or so.

If we have offered £20 million l'arse should do the decent thing and sell him to us, back in 2008 we gave them the best centre half EVER to play in the PL for a paltry fee when he was in the last year of his contract l'arse should return the favour.

Signing or being interested in RVP makes Berba not playing certain games ahead of the other strikers more baffling.

What message does it send out to Hernandez? Does Fergie think he's finished or not worthy of a starting place week in week out?
As for Welbeck decent player but I feel this contract thing is going to drag out and I've made my feelings perfectly clear regarding that.

Well at least we have a believable soap opera to follow between now and August 31st.

Scan74,

to be frank, the home jersey is not as bad as you are making it..

looks decent for me..

Fred July 20, 2012

I think it's pretty rubbish tbh Sandeep. When I first saw it I was aghast, then when I saw Kagawa and Powell posing with it I thought it didn't look too bad, then I saw it in action the other day and was back to strongly disliking it.
